THANK YOU! I start my day with the news, and both CNN and HuffPost rudely autoplay sound even though I've disabled their autoplaying video with other add-ons. You can't manually mute the tab until AFTER the sound has started playing. I want to read text, not listen to audio!

There seems to have been a surge these days, in my country at least, of websites, even professional ones relating to stuff like financial services, etc., to have a "May I help you?" kinda helper bots pop up with an audible ding every time you access their webpages. It gets very tedious after a while.

This add-on is exactly what I needed! Well done, developer! Having a whitelist means I can easily and permanently unmute websites like youtube, etc.

My one nitpick is that there should be an option to hide the muted audio icon on each and every tab that is open. Someone like me who has tens of tabs open at a given time, it can look very crowded. I hope the developer take this into consideration for a future update. Else, perfect!

EDIT: I noticed that Developer has replied to another review regarding the audio icon, and suggested editing the userchrome.css to achieve the same. While this worked for me in regular tabs, it did not remove the icons from pinned tabs. Maybe developer can help me in this regard.

Antwort des Entwicklers

Sorry, but I'm not an expert on the userchrome.css stuff and this isn't exactly the right place for support requests, especially if they aren't directly related to the addon (i.e. I can't do anything about it by changing the addon's code).That said, I'm not sure why the workaround I suggested below doesn't work for pinned tabs as it should. People on the Mozilla Support Forum (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions) could probably help you with that though.

Edit:I found this with a short Google search and it seems to work:@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);.tab-icon-overlay[muted], .tab-icon-sound[muted], .tab-icon-overlay[soundplaying], .tab-icon-sound[soundplaying] { display: none !important;}

I also added this to the corresponding issue on the Github repository for future reference (https://github.com/abba23/mute-sites-by-default/issues/1).

I never knew I needed this in my life. I have to do virtual labs for school and they always open in a new tab. They make loud clicking sounds any time I move something around in the virtual lab. By muting every site by default and remembering sites that have been un-muted like YouTube. Simple but great.
